Original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Hands down. Hysterical laughing scene freaks me out to this day.

And 'Ice Cream Man'. Still think of that movie when i hear an ice cream truck

Critters

We lived in the country on a farm.. We had a gas station that rented out vhs tapes close to my house. I was about 8 when I saw it.. fricked me up bad. I was jumping out if my bed at least 4 feet towards the door because I thought they were under my bed. Then I found out they can form into a ball and start rolling. frick that. The ball was about 8 feet wide. Hell no. I wouldn't go into the fields at night for awhile.

I absolutely HATED scary movies as a kid, but sometimes I was stupid enough to watch parts of some. So some of those fricked me up. shite like It and Silver Bullet. Also, Phantasm gave me nightmares for a while...that little orb thing and the alternate universe thing with the alien dwarf creatures crawling around and shite.

Also, there was something that I saw one time called "Gas Station Wash Room." I actually think it was a Saturday Night Live skit. But it scared THE frick out of me. I was running around my house screaming and shite. That shite haunted me for years it seemed like. I've always tried to find it online, but never could.

I have easily the lamest movie of them all, "Night of the Lepus" it's some old movie about giant rabbits that killed people. That movie messed me up for years. I was probably about six or seven when I saw it and I literally could not sleep in my bedroom for a while after that, I would sleep on the floor outside my parents or sister's room. Screw that movie.

Arachnophobia also got me.

I never watched a lot of true horror movies as a child, still don't.

Halloween, The Exorcist, and IT. I saw all 3 before I was 8, which my Dad still gets a good laugh about. I love all 3 films but they still freak me out to some degree

Cats Eye......I layed awake many nights looking for that Troll to come take my breath away

Children of the Corn.....First time I watched it, I was fine. Second was a whole nother story.

Cujo....We had two St. Bernard dogs (Rudy and Hoss) when I was a kid. Never looked at them the same after this movie

The Siamese twin cats in Lady and the Tramp left a scar for sure.

I saw TONS of scary movies when I was a kid and they never really bothered me so I cant say one "messed" me up. However The Thing did creep me out a little the first time I saw it, when that guys chest opens up and bites that doctors arms off.

Yep. Scared the living hell out of me. I love horror movies, but this one still gives me a weird feeling. It's just got such a dark, dangerous feeling.

Throughout college, I did some work at a haunted house, and one year we had Tony Todd come and sign autographs. My stomach dropped a little when he walked through the door, even if he was wearing a flat bill and an affliction shirt. He's still the damn Candyman.

This. The clown under the bed scene screwed me up for years. I could never look over the edge of my bed for fear of that damn clown. I hate clowns.

In regards to animation films, the Rescuers scared the crap out of me. I had the record book that didn't make it any better. I hated the Medusa character.
